Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (8)

Sylus stood at the center of the chaos, his staff glowing with icy brilliance as he controlled the flow of water around him. One of the monstrous Fishmen lunged at him, its eel-like tendrils whipping through the water. Sylus raised a hand, creating a dome of freezing water that encased the creature momentarily, halting its momentum. He followed up with a blast of ice shards, the projectiles striking the Fishman's torso and sending it spiraling backward.

Two more Crab Men charged at him from opposite sides, their claws poised to crush him. Sylus planted his staff firmly into the ground and muttered a spell under his breath. The water around him solidified into jagged ice spikes, shooting outward in every direction. One of the Crab Men was impaled through its midsection, its glowing body cracking under the pressure. The other narrowly avoided the spikes but was forced to retreat, giving Sylus enough time to regroup.
